J.Stevens shotgun question

iloveguns · 07-24-2008, 10:24 AM

I have a J.Stevens double barrel 20 gauge model 335. Near as I can tell it was made around 1926 and the books says only 2000 were made. So question number 1 is why is it valued so low? Question number 2 is there still away to get parts for it or do I have to go to a gunsmith? Thanks all.

Stevens/Savage built a zillion guns in the lower price/quality bracket and really never had what you call a "name brand" status.That means there is little or no collectors demand/call,so they really only have shooting status value.As to parts,I did check Numrich out and they have very little available for a M335 so,it looks like gunsmith work. sam.
